Kids Who Wiggle!

We wiggle. We shimmy. We squirm, we twist, we bounce! It is highly possible there are ants. In. Our. Pants. Lots of 'em! 6 year-olds just aren't built to sit still, so we change activities about every 5 to 15 minutes. The boys and girls are certainly not expected to sit still all day!

When we are in need of a wiggle break, and there is no Phys Ed or recess on the horizon, we visit GoNoodle! It is an online hub for goofy, sing along movement breaks! We stretch, we dance, we sing along, we shake it during Zumba, and we always laugh! Each time our class does a movement break, our "champ" grows! It is so motivating!

Here are the boys and girls in action:

Here is one of our favourite movement breaks from GoNoodle ... Milkshake!




Given that we are the wiggle experts of Jean Vanier, it only made sense that we read the book Lines that Wiggle! Silly monsters showed us so many different types of lines. 



So we got to work practicing our lines:

Then we drew 5 or 6 across a white page, added a small black frame and got to work colouring each "piece" inside the frame!

Look at this careful, creative work!

Enjoy are our fantastic, colourful, wiggly, squiggly masterpieces!
